Dr. Hellens, a 1972 graduate of the Faculty of Medicine, Univer- sity of Western Ontario, did his internship last year at St. Jos- eph's Hospital in Hamilton. Born in Kirkland Lake where his father was a miner, Dr. Hel- lens lived with his parents in sev- eral small communities .in North- ern Ontario and attended high school in Elliot Lake where he graduated as an Ontario Scholar. After two years as an honors science student at the University" of Western Ontario, Dr. Hellens entered medical school at the university. Dr. Hellens' northern Ontario 'upbringing is reflected in his hob- bies and interests which tend to be of the outdoor variety. The `excellent medical setup and facilities" played a large part in Dr. Hellen' decision to come to Wingham. Wingham and Dist. Hosp. earns achievernent award Arnold Taylor, chairman of the Safety, Fire and Disaster Com- mittee at the Wingham and Dis- trict Hospital, has announced that the hospital has received the Ontario Hospital Association's Accident Prevention Achieve- ment Awaid. The award is pre- sented by the association's Hos- pital Accident Prevention Department (HAPD) to the hos- pitals with the lowest frequency of lost time injuries among their staff. "We classify hospitals in seven different categories, usually based on hours worked annually, and We present c awards to those hospitals • in . the province With the best safety records each year," says Doug Callan, HAPD manager, "that is, ten per cent of those hospitals in each category with the best record for safe Operations in the year get the award." Mr. Callan adds, "Of the 133 hbapitals now participating in the program, 17 have earned the award so far this year, but all On- tario hospitals and other health care institutions are eligible for it. Chairman of the board of direc- tors, Robert Ritter, congratu- lates all the hospital's staff on earning the Accident Prevention Achievement Award. Accident prevention exists on a very per- sonal level and it's up to each individual to ensure his own safety and the safety of those around him. Mrs. I. E. Morrey, Adminis- trator of the hospital, adds her words of appreciation as she states, "The staff of the Wingham and District Hospital have demonstrated great responsi- bility, both individually and col- lectively, in earning this award and on behalf of the patients, the community and the board of directors I would like to add my personal thanks and congratula- tions."

(Staff Photo)' fairytale, musical:, delights children There is no more critical au- dience than children and yet they can also be the most apprecia- tive. Judging from the reaction of over 100 children who attended Thursday evening's performance of "Tongue Tied Tales" in the town hall one can offer nothing but praise for the hour long mus- • ical, and its. cast. With the exception of a few slow moments the otherwise interesting and entertaining fairytale production held a cap- tive audience composed mostly of young children. Last minute difficulties failed to impede the Stratford Youth Theatre from performing their production, "Tongue Tied Tales", a musical fairytale writ- ten by the group from a story by Francois Rabelais, a mediaeval monk. Originally . e revue "Scandal Walk" wa ,. -be performed by the group in • iverside Park by the swimming pool. However the play, a revue of Canada during the first half of the cent by was not ready and then rain added the. final touch preventing any out- door performance. The quick change to another play and the move indoors to the town hall took place without fall- ing behind schedule. The musical was a blessing in disguise as those who turned out were almost all children. The acting from all members of the cast was strong and there was no difficulty in hearing or under- standing the conversation or singing. Two members who came ac- ross exceptionally well were Paul Robertson playing a slow witted and easily misled judge who is eventually forgiven for his way- ward actions and Lea Carroll who, as an evil landlord, per- formed well in the best Snidley Whiplash tradition. The group which has been per- forming in several towns in .Wes- tern Ontario held a dissscuion. period after the show and Terry Bryant who played a troubadour gave an added musical number on a request from the audience. Report Iio.sh.g development at Pitcber's comer Mrs. Jack Pitcher, who resides at Morrisbank fir, Highway 86, says she has heard of birds and cats being discovered under car hoods, but her husband was more than a little surprised when he lifted the hood of their ear last week and found that a groundhog had taken up residence. The little beast had gathered a huge pile of grass and fashioned a nest atop the radiator. While he was attempting a fast exit from his new home the animal got himself lodged down beside the motor, but a little urg- ing from the rear with a stick gave him the incentive for a last desperate effort and he escaped unharmed. Mrs. Pitcher wanders if the dis- covery might indicate some sort of industrial Watergate. Shas even considered the possibility that the groundhog was in the pay of the Ford people, since the car happens to be a General Motors product. On the other hand, The Ad- vance -Times wonders whether Mr. and Mrs. Pitcher are entirely in the near themselves. There are lawns to cover eviction of a tenant without adequate notice. •
